Must be annoying when sleeping. Whenever I have a bad cold, I wake up with a paper dry tongue. Condolences from Germany, Genosse.

 

Vielen dank. Haven't yet had the pleasure of getting any sleep unfortunately, but I reckon it's going to be just like that. I'm paranoid that I'm going to ruin my bed though, so I took a incontinence bedpad with me home that I'll be resting my head on. If that get's soaked through, I won't have to worry about my bed anymore :p

 

The biggest annoyance so far has been eating, getting no air through either nostril really makes it hard to get things down.

I worked around the house all day. I caught the Florida-Vanderbilt part of Tennessee-Georgia games on the radio. Then I made a porkchop & roasted ear of corn on the grill. Two porkchops actually. I made a small one for Sunny. Now it's time to sit on the porch with a glass or two of Kentucky's finest and catch the Marlins-Braves game on the radio & watch the stars come out. 

 

Life is pretty good you know?

The weather outside is lovely, today. Went out for a long walk before I start playing some video games. Going to watch football in a few hours, and taste the cake I baked yesterday.

My secondary monitor is starting to die. Takes minutes now until the screen is visible. Damn, this thing is so many years old now... but I don't want to buy a new one.

Today was my first day doing a part-time job delivering pizzas for Papa John's.  I know, not the most glamorous job, but hey, it's extra cash in my pocket, and, apparently a lot more cash than I had anticipated.  I only worked 3 hours tonight (this is after my regular full-time job where I put in 8+ hours a day) and it was a slow night and I made over $25 in tips.  Sure, that's not exactly a fortune, but that's $25 more dollars than what I had earlier in the day and it was barely work, I was cruising around in my super comfy Mazda while listening to jazz.  I'm working Friday night and Saturday night this week, and longer hours both days, and those are the busiest times of the week.  Let the money come rolling in.  :dancing:

 

I should have started doing this a long time ago.  :facepalm:

I have a lot of friends that started driving for Uber and Lyft in their spare time and they are making a decent amount during high traffic times. Dunno if that's something you'd be interested in. I've come to hate driving in my old age so strike that for me.

I thought about doing that, but I can't get this nightmare out of my head of driving someone super drunk home and them puking all over the back seat of my sweet Mazda 6.  I super duper baby my car.  I keep is clean inside and out and I just about have a heart attack anytime I find the tiniest surface scratch in the clear coat, which I then immediately buff out using Meguiar's Ultimate Compound (that stuff is magic in a bottle).  I might straight up die if someone puked in my car.

Is it just me or is the Obsidian forum extremely slow today?

Notifications also fail to load quite often now. But alas this one has not crowd funded the forums, so I can't be a chooser.

A lorrydriver slammed shut a rolling door on my hand today. Pain, lots and lots of pain. Going to visit a doc in the morn to get a professional opinion. Hand is swollen as all hell and I can't twist or bend it, or use index and thumb properly.

 

Also, learned that "jalusi" roughly translates into rolling door!

My ankle is playing up rather bad today.  Twinges and pain along the back.  Really need to get that broken plate taken out and that break fixed.

Yikes! I hope your hand is ok

 

Yes and no? I've got some minor fractures but nothing actually broken, so it should be fine aslong as I take it easy and don't use it, still swollen and such though.

 

Jalousie. It's a French word.

;)

 

I also think it's remarkable that you typed that post anyway. Thumbs up for that. Not that is dedication

.

 

Hehe, yeah it's been swedishified to jalusi, I thought it was French; We've got alot of loan-words in Swedish, we're a multicultural bunch and have been for ages despite what the Swedish democrats try to imply ^^

 

Well typing with one hand works, just very slow and heavy use of backspace. And looking at the keyboard. Wich feels waaaay to noobish ;_;

well seems like you go long ways to inform us then; despite your body letting you down frequently ;)

Yeah, it's been nothing but dissapointments with it, I'm trying to get an exchange but so far no luck :p

my English is letting me down. What plate now?

 

I had a metal plate put in to hold my ankle together when I broke it in three different places about 7 years ago.  Apparently it broke shortly after I had it put in and one of the breaks it was supposed to help fix never healed up as a result, so I been walking around with a broken ankle for 7 years without realising it.  Found out when I went to the doctor's complaining that the pain had been getting worse thinking it was just arthritis caused by the break and got them to do an x-ray to see what was going on with it.  Naturally I was surprised to find this out, amazed that the doctor didn't seem that fussed about it but they even considered just leaving it as it is!  Fortunately they decided they are going to operate and at least take out the broken plate.

that doesn't seem like a particularly pleasant experience. My condolences. I imagine it's quite a scary experience to learn that.

 

Strangely not, more relief that they have found the problem! :D

is a full exchange covered by insurance though?

Ofcourse, Swedish socialist government pays.

 

Possible I could get it exchanged through warranty though, most of the things happening to me is a result of errors in manufacturing. :p

I am very surprised they did not take the plates out a year after surgery. I had a rod in my leg when I broke it and they took it out as soon as the bones healed.

Ordered the new Pixel XL 2 after deciding yesterday that I was going to stick with the brand new Nexus 5X Google gave me as a replacement for my old one.

Watched boring Java training videos instead of working. Got an idea for an Android app to make as well.

Wouldn't you have to talk to your parent then?

They're being ornery about it, claiming that any and all errors were outside of their control, I claim it is their lack of control and poor materialsresearch that has resulted in a subpar product with many errors, when it comes to both software and hardware.

I just had a weird dream. Flew from Paris to Casablanca and then to Sochi... by hanging onto a jellyfish and thinking that it's one bad way to fly, constantly having to take care not to get tangled up and burned, what with the jellyfish and all. The trip ended in Russia because we dipped in cold water and the jellyfish shrunk - I figured it wouldn't be able to carry my weight now.

 

While flying I saw myself on a world map that looked like a game of Civ 4.

 

I often have bizarre dreams, but it's rather rare that I remember the insane details this vividly.

Just recieved my package from Modiphius entertainment(Mutant Chronicles developer), containing; 2 Cartel , 2 Bauhaus, 2 Cybertronic, 2 Imperial, 2 Capitol, 2 Mishima, 2 Brotherhood, 1 Hit Location D20, 5 Dark Legion and 5 White Star D20's, 48 Dark Symmetry D6's, Dark Eden Sourcebook, Dark Eden Campaign book, a second Core rulebook and a Cartel Artifact bag.

Total price? 260£. It's expensive being a nerd >_<

...

Totally worth it.

 

I've now relocated my ringbinder, dice, pen and eraser from my 15 year old, torn, worn backpack to the Cartel Artifact bag, together with all the new items. Now I'm heading to my friends place to play some Mutant Chronicles. :dancing:

 

Have a nice friday, I know I will! :)

I suspect because it was done abroad.  If I had done it here they would probably have followed up on it better as they have done with others I know who have had similar injuries, but since I did it in Italy (the Dolomites specifically) I suspect I have fallen through the cracks somewhat.  Hell, I didn't even know they were putting plates in until the day of the operation, and its only with the recent x-ray that I found out they had put wiring in there too apparently.
